Yo Yo! hows it going out there. Comic con was in town this weekend, I did not get a ticket this year but I did manage to sketch a bit at a nearby coffee shop. I did some studies recently of animals I like. Trying to learn the pen a bit more.

Hi guys its time for an update, added more figure drawing studies from life some nude and some not. I started experimenting around more with pens and brush pens.

@AChi Thanks! Im glad you like my sketches. Drawing in public can be very hard and challenging especially at the beginning. I find it easier to start off doing small amount first, limit yourself to like 10mins of public sketching and build up from there. I also find figure drawing helps a lot with sketching in public. I hope this helps :)

I would like to see some more studies on the painting department tho, you are good at describing forms with light and shadow, but your compositions are still a little bit messy and confusing.

Try doing the 3 values composition study, where you take a painting you like, a movie screenshot, or anything visually appealing, and try to break it using only 3 values.

I believe that studying and training this kind of thinking will help you a lot on making clearer and more visually appealing compositions. I see you're not always knowing how to balance your light and dark areas, focus on that!

I don't know if I made myself clear, so please tell me if I don't!
Anyway, keep up the awesome work man! You're progressing really fast!

Hi I'm back, this update is mostly just environment speed paintings, practicing and stuff. I did switch it up today and did a Dwarf sketch. So fun to do I will update soon with some sketches I did of dwarves from my sketchbook.

Since I started this sketchbook I have been wanting very badly to join Crimson Crucible Challenge. I will start this month's challenge and updates this sketchbook alongside with WIP thread.

Some life study and costume life drawing from this year.

This challenge was very interesting and I learn some things. I started this challenge kind of late but I wanted to give it a try and tackle the problems head on. I tried a style I was experimenting with and after the crit stream there were some good advice there. Hopefully on the next crit streams I can stay up late enough to be there live.
